FUTURETECH Featuring Delicate Productions - The Art of Event Perfection
This episode spotlights Delicate Productions, a standout in the live events world. Chris and Lacy dig into their full-service approach, expert lighting, audio, and video capabilities, and what makes them the go-to for top-tier clients.
1
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,520
All right, welcome back everyone
to another episode of Future
2
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,360
Tech with Geezers of Gear.
Chris here.
3
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,240
And with me, as always, is
Lacey.
4
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,000
Today we're shining the
spotlight on Delicate
5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,520
productions, a name you can't
really avoid if you're talking
6
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,000
about, you know, truly legendary
live events.
7
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,960
Yeah, hey all.
I actually just love the tagline
8
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,760
on their website.
The only way to get it right is
9
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,920
to get it just right.
I mean, that tells you
10
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,600
everything, right?
They're obsessed with details
11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,800
and delicate started with a
bunch of concert touring vets
12
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,240
back in 1980, right?
It's wild.
13
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,760
So much of the industry was
still being invented back then.
14
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,760
They just built it up from
nothing and now they're kind of
15
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,440
the standard when you talk about
full service.
16
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,840
Production, absolutely.
Their evolution's been wild to
17
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,800
watch.
Unlike a lot of production
18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,200
companies who just rent gear,
Delicate's grown to do basically
19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,200
everything, lighting, audio,
video, and somehow managed to
20
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,040
keep that original, almost punk
passion for getting every single
21
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,760
detail just right.
Speaking of someone who loves a
22
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,920
bit of organized chaos on a
crew, Delicate have this fiery
23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,000
service style you won't find
anywhere else.
24
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,200
You know you can tell when a
team lives and breathes the job.
25
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,400
And it's not just about ticking
boxes.
26
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,040
If you talk to folks who've
worked with them or even see
27
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,280
photos from their events, you
get a real sense of pride and
28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,960
like, artistic care.
I feel like that's been a theme
29
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:46,280
in some of our past episodes.
Gem and I had that same kind of
30
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,120
attitude really.
Definitely that culture of pride
31
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,800
and precision, and actually that
gives us a perfect jumping off
32
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,960
point for the next bit, because
where Delicate really flips the
33
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,240
switch is with their creative
tech.
34
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,240
Want to dig into what puts that
Wow into their events?
35
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,880
Oh, absolutely.
I mean, it's kind of wild.
36
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,240
They really flip the Wow switch,
as they say, their lighting team
37
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,120
just transforms a space.
It's not just about brightness
38
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,560
or number of fixtures.
It's that they work with some of
39
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,200
the smartest minds in lighting
and they're always using the
40
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,600
newest, craziest gear.
They've got a reputation for
41
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,920
recruiting the industry's top
minds and then arming them with,
42
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,440
well, I wouldn't be surprised if
it was the shiniest, most
43
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,920
advanced kit you can blag from a
distributor.
44
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,560
And their video setups are next
level too.
45
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,960
I always say, and this isn't
exaggeration, they can take the
46
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,440
most corporate beige event and
suddenly you feel like you're in
47
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,080
a movie.
Delicates got that ability to
48
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,640
give your show a cinematic edge.
That's the delicate way.
49
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,080
The goal isn't just to set up
APA or flash a few fixtures.
50
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,800
It's to get people buzzing, to
create those moments that stick.
51
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,920
It all pulls together, lighting,
audio, video, never one at the
52
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:05,600
expense of the other.
And it makes even the wildest
53
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,440
venues or oddball events come
alive.
54
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,720
Exactly.
And Speaking of unforgettable,
55
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,520
maybe now's a good time to dig
into who actually gets to
56
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,200
experience these shows because
delicates client list, it's
57
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,600
epic.
Yeah, So Delicate doesn't just
58
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,080
serve the usual suspects.
They do production for concerts,
59
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,680
festivals, sports events, award
shows, touring, you name it.
60
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,680
It's like if you want a big deal
event and want it to run right,
61
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,560
these are the people you call.
We're talking everybody from pop
62
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,160
tours to corporate galas.
Their reputation is legit, but
63
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,240
it's also kind of exclusive.
Not just anyone calls up
64
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,360
Delicate, you know.
Spot on, and what I find really
65
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,800
cool is the gallery of their
past events.
66
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,600
When perfection is achieved,
pictures are taken, that's their
67
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,800
line and you scroll through and
it's just hit after hit.
68
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,960
You see huge gigs but also some
real surprises.
69
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,720
Stadium sports one week, then a
very posh gala the next.
70
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,840
The thread that holds it all
together really is the culture.
71
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,760
Delicate's crew buy into this
standard of excellence.
72
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,920
They do whatever it takes, and
the result is consistently
73
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,520
unforgettable events.
I feel like it's the service
74
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,320
culture that sets them apart
honestly.
75
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,279
It's not just about gear or
staff, it's that you can feel
76
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,840
the pride in every detail.
Like if something's even a
77
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:28,200
little bit off, they notice and
fix it before anyone else even
78
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,640
sees.
And I think their longevity, 40
79
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,840
plus years of crushing it, it
all goes back to that attitude.
80
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,080
Yeah, 45 years and counting.
I mean legend status.
81
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,920
Seriously.
So when you're planning
82
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,280
something truly epic, you want
delicate in the room.
83
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,680
Because perfection's not a one
time act for them, it's a habit.
84
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,480
That's why in all honesty,
they're the go to for people who
85
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,080
need things.
Absolutely spot on every time.
86
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,040
All right, I think that's the
perfect note to wrap this one up
87
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,240
on.
Delicate shows us what happens
88
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,520
when you match passion,
precision, and a wild love of
89
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,280
live events.

90
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,560

94
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,200
Delicate.

All right, welcome back everyone

2
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,360
Tech with Geezers of Gear.

00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,240
And with me, as always, is
Lacey.
4
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,000
Today we're shining the
spotlight on Delicate
5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,520
productions, a name you can't
really avoid if you're talking
6
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,000
about, you know, truly legendary
live events.
7
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,960
Yeah, hey all.
I actually just love the tagline
8
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,760
on their website.
The only way to get it right is
9
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,920
to get it just right.
I mean, that tells you
10
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,600
everything, right?
They're obsessed with details
11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,800
and delicate started with a

12
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,240

It's wild.

00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,760
So much of the industry was

14
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,760
They just built it up from

15
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,440
the standard when you talk about
full service.
16
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,840
Production, absolutely.
Their evolution's been wild to
17
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,800
watch.
Unlike a lot of production
18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,200

Speaking of someone who loves a

service style you won't find

24
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,200
You know you can tell when a

25
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,400
And it's not just about ticking
boxes.
26
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,040
If you talk to folks who've
worked with them or even see
27
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,280
photos from their events, you
get a real sense of pride and
28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,960
like, artistic care.
I feel like that's been a theme
29

Definitely that culture of pride
31
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,800

gives us a perfect jumping off

Want to dig into what puts that
Wow into their events?
35
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,880
Oh, absolutely.
I mean, it's kind of wild.
36
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,240
They really flip the Wow switch,
as they say, their lighting team
37

experience these shows because
delicates client list, it's
57
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,600
epic.
Yeah, So Delicate doesn't just
58
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,080
serve the usual suspects.
They do production for concerts,
59
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,680
festivals, sports events, award
shows, touring, you name it.
60
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,680

00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,720
Stadium sports one week, then a
very posh gala the next.
70
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,840
The thread that holds it all
together really is the culture.
71
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,760
Delicate's crew buy into this
standard of excellence.
72
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,920
They do whatever it takes, and
the result is consistently
73
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,520
unforgettable events.
I feel like it's the service
74
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,320
culture that sets them apart
honestly.
75
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,279
It's not just about gear or
staff, it's that you can feel
76
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,840
the pride in every detail.
Like if something's even a
77
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:28,200
little bit off, they notice and
fix it before anyone else even
78
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,640
sees.
And I think their longevity, 40
79
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,840
plus years of crushing it, it
all goes back to that attitude.
80
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,080
Yeah, 45 years and counting.
I mean legend status.
81
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,920
Seriously.
So when you're planning
82
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,280
something truly epic, you want
delicate in the room.
83
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,680
Because perfection's not a one
time act for them, it's a habit.
84
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,480
That's why in all honesty,
they're the go to for people who
85
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,080
need things.
Absolutely spot on every time.
86
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,040
All right, I think that's the
perfect note to wrap this one up
87
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,240
on.
Delicate shows us what happens
88
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,520
when you match passion,
precision, and a wild love of
89
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,280
live events.
Chris, always a blast.
90
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,560
And thanks to everyone for
joining us.
91
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,520
Lots more future tech and gear
talk coming your way soon.
92
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,840
Thanks Laci.
Cheers to all our listeners.
93
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,680
Catch you on the next episode.
Don't forget nobody does it like
94
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,200
Delicate.
Bye for now.
